TIE IMPROVEMENT BOOM.

And Still the Money Comes in and thu
| Good Work Continues TO Move On.
The proffered subscriptions to the Cit,
improvement fund, as published in thu
RECORD UNION and Bee, prior to last even
ing, amounted to 81 600, towards the frs
| So, 900, that may be subscribed to aid in th'
| good work of the association. In las
| evenings Bee another enterprising either
puts himself on record. after stating The
good that can be done with funds, in these
| words:
| Believing this to be the case am authorized
to subscribe and pay 81 900 to said fund OF S2o,
| 900 when the other S24 900 is subscribed ano
collected, the said amount to be placed il
| charge of the Executive Committee of the I'm
| provement Association. Respectfully,
This makes 5000 towards the first $25,.
600, with an additional $4,000, offered II
| higher amounts be subscribed. The all
important thing, however, to accomplish
| Just now is to get the first $4,000 sub
scribed, and with that amount ground
| work could be effected, and one which
would so far advance the better interests OF
property holders that there would be no
difficulty in obtaining subscriptions for
further and larger sums. Yesterday we
had the pleasure of publishing a card from
the venerable and much-abused Silu-
Ran, in which he freely offers 81 600 to
help on the glorious work of improvement
and boom. This ought to entitle Mr.. ST.
lurian to perpetual rest hereafter from be-
ing stigmatized by innuendo and direct as
Sault as an antedeluvian and close-tisted
citizen.
And now comes his next-door neighbor
Moss Back" and throwing down an offer
aS for 70 ha
work fund, also claims similar exemption
from further abuse, and it is to be hoped
that hereafter the public will cease to be
disrespectful in regard to the names of
these two personages. The last letter re-
ceived is as follows:
EDS. RECORD MON | notice that So, 900
has been promised in case the sum of $685.
600 shall be raised. the same to be placed
In charge of the improvement Association,
to be used in carrying out the objects of
said organization, and having full conf
dence that the judicious expenditure of
said amount of money can be of great
benefit to the city and county, l am ready
to pay in $500 when the balance of the
600 shall have been subscribed. Re-
spectfully yours, Moss BACK"
Everything Is moving as successfully as
the most sanguine could wish, in the work
lnat Is being undertaken DV the enterprlS-
ing people comprising the Improvement
Association, and those who are so magnifi-
Gently lending their aid. 1t is safe to pre-
dict that within six months from this date
every resident of the city will be friendly
to the Association, as he will become con-
WINGED that the only object of its members
is to beautify and improve the city and
make ii more desirable and sought for as
place of residence and for business.
The Association and people are ex-
tremely fortunate, that with this effort, they
have in the present Board Of Trustees, a
full Board entirely in accord with the ad-
vance movement of the Improvement So
ciety, and who stand ready to accept and
carry out promptly every proposition and
effort made by the Association that they
can find law to sustain and funds to accom-

favor, it will be difficult task for party
